Tell ya what. I'm struggling to make rent right now. Working 6 days a week, living alone, just keeping my head above water.

2028, everybody vote for me, and I'll run on the platform of giving rich people the middle finger.

Like Robin Hood......except vulgar.

If someone ran for governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi a full pardon, they would win in a landslide.

In theory, couldn’t Luigi run for president from jail?

In theory, yes!

You are delusional if you think that elections are not just a horse race for the rich and that common people have any power. If common people interests were what drives elections you would have had free healthcare, free education, worker right and more like a century ago.

Eh, feels very populist and single issue. What's your plan for healthcare like?

Tbf whatever they come up with will most likely be better than whats currently happening.

You could invent a better political system by tattooing every political idea onto your skin and passing whichever words get zits into law, so obviously it goes without saying
